McKamy 2/4 VEX Competition Volunteer Sign-Up

Many families have not signed up yet!

Our competition is this Saturday 2/4! 

Please sign up today!

All MRC students help with Set-Up on Friday starting at 4pm.

 

Each McKamy Team has an area they are the lead for but YOU CAN SERVE ANYWHERE! Our greatest need on Saturday as of today for the Competition are Judges, Referees and Volunteer Check-In.  All require no prior experience!  

 

  • Judges have a rubric and work in pairs interviewing teams, observing them interact with other teams and looking at their Engineering Notebook. Moving throughout the competition areas.  Awards are determined by judges except Tournament Champions :)
  • Referees are at the center of the action. They get trained onsite and have a scorecard. The Referees consense on the score then hand to Tournament Table.
  • Volunteer Check-In - Smile, check-in, give them their badge and volunteer t-shirt, make sure volunteers know where to go and help volunteers. Your in pairs so can watch your team compete.  Volunteers check in throughout day.

 

Thank you for supporting McKamy with our one family volunteer commitment of the year!  There is something for everyone! Younger siblings can help with field reset! Just put their names in comment section for that position. If you have high school or middle school students they can get their service hours!
